This street is lined with stores, hotels, and restaurants. I would suggest wearing tennis shoes, bringing a bottle of water, and a hat. The street is paved with ballast stone so be careful walking. And remember walking up hill puts you on the level with the parks.

The shops, eateries, and view of the river are nice, but the smell of rotting trash and runnoff from garbage detracted from the overall experience. The cobblestones and brickwork was picturesque, but somewhat dangerous to traverse.

If you do nothing else in Savannah be sure to go and experience the ambiance, views, history and food of River street. I came in for a business trip and thought it was perfect to walk around and experience Savannah. I will definitely come back to Savannah to get the full experience of this historic town.
